What Do You Want?

I want a sense of community where we all share the same beliefs and can help guide each other along on our own spiritual paths that we walk., be that in many forms.

But that is impossible! you can't find two person that share the same point of view, therefore you can't find two person with same beliefs...

We have a lot more in common than differ. We just get hung up on the small stuff and ego.

We have more in common, I agree, but we don't share same beliefs.

Don't we share a belief in the force, or whatever name you wan to give it, a energy which connects all living things together. Do you have other views different to this?

We all believe in it, but do we have same definitions over Force? I saw lots of topic about Force, and everyone said something different than others.

I mean, we all agree that Force is closest thing to what Christians name God, Muslims call Allah, etc. but we all know it isn't exactly that. And how it is like Force, and how it is different differs for all of us.

We get along and share beliefs because we all agree we want too...

[strike]That, And I dont get to use the ban button often enough!

In a BIG PICTURE kinda way, we all agree....

Like Christians all agree in God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost... Only it gets confusing, lol...

Personally as long as we are agreeing that we all believe in this energy of life. It is not the form in which it takes but the discussions about what we believe it to be for each of us, makes us share the same belief. Did that make sense???

So whether or not we agree on what it is does not matter, it is the understanding that it is a thing that makes us share the same belief. For me this is what I want from this religion. The journey with which we will all share and learn by is what binds us together.

So let me put a little spin on this question and stimulate some new discussion.


What do you want from this Religion?

What do I want from religion...

"I have no religion, I am a Jedi, My philosophy is the balance of all things in life, and to treat everyone with kindness and compassion."

What do I want from this religion...

Being a Jedi does not require a religion.

To quote a movie line...

"The Jedi are extinct, their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion."

I believe this quote was said as an insult to the Jedi in which Tarkin was saying that, after all that the Jedi teach, all that's left is the evil of Vader.

What do I want from what religion would be my question back to you.
